United States Diplomat Danielle Lowen was there when one of her fellow
diplomats committed an unthinkable act that had consequences for the
entire planet. Now she's trying to figure out how it happened before it

mystery - or it could threaten her own life.
"The Gentle Art of Cracking Heads" is a tale from John Scalzi's The
